Nate,

I can't help you much when it comes to the surgery option. I did not have to endure that other than the right side neck dissection to remove 11 lymph nodes following my chemo and radiation. My doc wanted to avoid base of tongue surgery if at all possible due to potential speech deformity that could result.

Good luck with your battle and just take what comes one day at a time and then be thankful the next day that the last one has come and gone! Good luck!
